“I’m glad I’m here.”
“On this earth, or in Paris, or in my bed?”
“Mmmm...all of the above, but mostly the last one.”
He gripped my hip, pulling me until I was half on his chest. “I hope you still like to cuddle, because I’m about to cuddle the hell out of you.”
I snorted a little laugh. “Truthfully, I haven’t had a good cuddle in ages.”
His arms closed around me, holding me the way he always had. I pushed my cheek into his chest, the fine hairs tickling me.
“Me either. Haven’t wanted to.”
It seemed like I should have been asking questions or drawing a line in the sand about where this could go, but I didn’t want to. All I wanted was to sink into Jude’s arms and let that be the only thing filling my mind.
“I hear you thinking, Stripes.”
“I’m not. I’m turning my brain off and just enjoying the right now.”
His arms tightened around me. “I’ve got you. I’m not going anywhere. You can go to sleep and know I’m going to be here when you wake up.”
“I’ll be here too.”
He let out a long sigh. “That sounds like a start.”
It did. It felt like a start too. To what? I couldn’t say, but that was for another day.
